In Venom, Tom Hardy will be playing the role of Eddie Brock, a journalist, who interviews Carlton Drake, the leader of the Life Foundation. During the interview, Brock angers Drake when he asks him about the tests that his company conducts. "What about the allegations that you recruit your most vulnerable for tests that end up killing people?" he asks, after which the interview is canceled and Drake threatens Brock.

Brock starts to hide but someone from the Life Foundation informs him about the Symbiotes and Drake’s obsession with them. Soon Brock falls ill and starts hearing voices inside his head. After that, Brock gets adept at killing people without the slightest hesitation. Brock talks to this new voice, who also grants him superpowers. He tries to control it and when asked who he is, Brock replies in the third person, “We are Venom.”

Venom is directed by Ruben Fleischer and is the first film in Sony’ Marvel Universe. Scripting has been done by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel. Venom releases on October 5.
